Mary, Immaculate Conception, Pray For Us.

(a prayer that came to mind this morning. . . .)


Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for our military personnel,
especially for those stationed in far away lands.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for our political leaders:
local, state and national.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for our religious leaders.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for those of us do who do not have employment.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for those of us who do not have health care.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for those of us who today find themselves homeless.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for those of us
who are immigrants in these United States.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for those of us
who are sons and daughters,
grandsons and granddaughters
of immigrants.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for those who defend freedom,
who give food to the hungry,
who give shelter to the homeless,
who help find jobs for the unemployed,
who care for the sick,
who welcome the stranger.

Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Pray for the United States of America.
